Walk 4 Hope Newcastle - Huntington's Australia
Overview
The Walk 4 Hope is an annual community event and fundraiser, designed for all ages and abilities, with a pram- and wheelchair-friendly course that you can complete at your own pace.
Come along and walk together as a community to show people impacted by Huntington's disease that they are not alone.
All of their Walks are approximately 4 kilometres long, but the most important thing is taking part. They encourage everyone to walk as much as their abilities allow and enjoy the day with family, friends, and the HD community.
